Jackson Mon, 10 Mar 2003 09:14:19 +0000 http://collectedmiscellany.com/2003/03/abraham-lincoln/#comment-69 Come up a bit short? Did he mention: 1. Lincoln refused to meet a CSA delegation before Ft Sumter that offered to pay their share of the national debt and for all Federal property in the CSA? 2. Lincoln imprisoned over 35,000 people without charge or trial? 3. Overthrew the legal State governments of Maryland and Missouri? 4. Sanctioned waging war on non-combatants in violation of the 1863 Geneva Convention. 5. Refused to exchange prisoners condeming thousands to die in miserable conditions. Yep, I bet he misses a few trivial points about the "great" leader. Come up a bit short? Did he mention:
